ponch22's review against another edition
3.0
[This review is being written over a year after reading the book--apparently I never wrote one or Goodreads lost it]
Can't remember how or why I picked this up, but it seems I got the ebook for free (perhaps it was a Humble Bundle "prize"?) I've loved nearly every other [a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg] novel I've read, so I figured this short story would be a fun read.
And it is cute. It tells the story of two British teens who go to a party to meet girls, but go to the wrong house and meet... well, the story is very short so I won't spoil anything.
You can read the entire thing on Gaiman's website if you have about 30 minutes. While it's not as great as his other fully fleshed out novels, it's definitely interesting for its "twist" and won't be a complete waste of your time.

It seemed like a good beginning to a Doctor Who story.

love this short graphic novel - loved the social awkwardness and the sci fi take on being at the wrong party. plus I loved the illustrations.

Quirky, fun, trippy, and as always with Gaiman, mystical. The story is carried on beautiful comic art by Moon and Bá that explodes with color and movement.
